Totally agree with everyone about Hiro, I do not like one bit on how he kept on bulging his eyes and the over the top reaction. It look like they couldn't decide to be a funny series or a serious series and mix the 2 together but very badly done.

yup lunas you are right also about his hair style i think his wife Ayaka Iida should pay more attention to her husband hair style coz in this series and the series of MR BRAIN he didn't change his hair cut

and ya he is over reacting to be funny it doesn't suit a policeman to me naive i can say taht much naive and not smart or even strong

I kept thinking, if that was Toma in the drama instead, they could spin it off as HK LOL haha At the last episode, Nakatsu wakes up with Sano calling him "anata baka?" Tongue

caramelchampagne, you should check out Orthros if you like super power type shows. It's an interesting concept about human kind. The ending wasn't so satisfying though but you walk off with some food for thought.

well, there are good Japanese police stories. This one just isn't it. I like watching the Negotiator series. The one with Oda Yuji.

well i watched episode 2. But nearing the finale i couldn't stand it anymore.
Though i kinda like the main character. I don't like how many mistakes the others make.
This isn't a standard silly cop, serious cop. It's a foolish cop who endangers lives and a serious cop. And to top that off we also have a foolish girl who keeps endangering everyone and everything.
Than you have the co-workers, the woman who keeps agreeing with her boss always kills the mood for me as well.
Too many plotholes, for a show that is trying to be semi serious.

It's interesting to pop in here and see quite a few others with similar complaints. Now, let me preface this by saying I've only watched ep01 so far and still plan to watch a few more. However, while I have no problem with Hiro's appearance (actually I think he still looks pretty good playing "scruffy") it's his over-the-top comical reactions-- yes, the "eye-bulging"-- that gets to me. It's not that I necessarily expected a uber-serious, dark, gritty detective drama but his reactions seems just too exaggerated compared to the tone of the surrounding show. I don't remember him acting like that in Hana-Kimi, and that show was intended to be over-the-top. In short, I can't believe I'm actually preferring Oguri Shun's uptight, quietly humorous character to Hiro's loud, super-expressive character. Exactly the opposite of what I expected, going into it. Again, this is all based on just one episode so I may be proven wrong in eps to come, but that's my 2 cents at this (very early) time.

I like the Tokyo Dogs drama actually only because of the girl and Oguri Shun doing a good job in it. I guess Mizushima isn't bad either but i hate his character.

The Drama is just too predictable which makes it boring. and it always makes me angry when i see oguri being treated like somewhat **** by mizushima just because oguri is a real police office doing a great job instead of being a playboy!!

starting the second episodes there weren't any surprises at all . . .

Just watched episode 5. I don't think this series is all that bad... the story is getting quite interesting esp with yuki's memory slowly coming back. oguri shun's acting is really good in this show and there is starting to be a bit more chemistry btw the main leads.

The bad parts are still bad though... mizushima hiro's acting is still terrible (altho slightly better in ep 5), there are major plot holes, sou and maruo talk way too loudly while on a mission, the rest of the detectives are so blatantly obvious when trying to stake out people.................

But focusing on the good bits and not taking it too seriously, i find it entirely watchable. Love the exile theme song and ending sequence too (which is way nicer than the actual exile pv).

I've been keeping up with this drama and I agree with some of the previous posts that it's somewhat disappointing, especially when it's the drama in Fuji's prime Monday night time slot where some great dramas have been in the past. Also, for some reason the storyline is a bit slow for a police drama and does not have a lot of unique qualities as some as the other dramas this season like Jin, Liar Game 2, and Shokojo Seira.

I think Oguri Shun and Mizushima Hiro are okay (I think their roles should have been reversed though for some reason - doesn't Mizushima speak English fluently?) But I think this drama lacks a strong female lead. Her character comes off as whiny and really doesn't add "suspense" to the story as it should (or at least it hasn't so far...).

But I'll probably stick with it since I've been watching it up to now and hopefully the storyline will start getting better and improve.
